Russian corruption is so thorough... it's like a virus that can't be contained. I am all for declawing and removing the teeth of the entity known as Russia. I do not believe that Russia as it is today can be redeemed.
Arguing with a tRump supporter is like playing chess with a pigeon... No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it's victorious..
He had a bag of zip ties and a roll of duct tape and was chanting "where is Nancy." Mr. Pelosi asked if he could make a bathroom run and was allowed. He goes in there where he knew his cell phone was charging and called 911. His message was semi-cryptic, he evidently suspected he'd be overheard. The female 911 operator sensed that this was a dangerous situation and upgraded the message to SFPD from the standard, which the Chief of Police said was likely life saving.Aside from the whole breaking into a house and attacking an old man with a hammer thing of course.
that's insane. if not for some quick thinking on both their parts, Mr. Pelosi could very well be a dead man.
And conservative voters will run around complaining that there is too much money in politics "oN bOtH sIdEs," completely oblivious to the fact that it is their side that fights tooth and nail to squeeze as much more "legal" money into the system as possible.
You might not agree with what he did, but it sure appears that he thought it out and executed a plan. That does not suggest that he was having some delusional state, or psychotic break. It was a decision to take action on what he believed to be a existential threat to his country. If you accept as true all the stuff the conservative media says about Pelosi it is not that hard to understand how he came to that conclusion. The problem was not his mental state, but the trash he filled his mental world with.
Look it's not like they maybe Paul Pelosi miss dessert. THAT is the sort of vicious attack that requires a long national conversation about civility in politics. Not the attempted murder of the husband of the Speaker or the attacker's desire to personally torture the speaker into a confession after which he would parade her mangled body around the Capitol as a warning to others. That doesn't even make it above the fold on the NYT.
Are you just sitting over here downplaying the extreme indignity of using the back exit, like a... a common servant or something?!? That's like stabbing Lady Liberty right in the spleen!
Sorry but far as I'm concerned the guy was "fooking nutz".
David Berkowitz, Jim Jones. John Wayne Gacy and Charles Manson (among countless others!) had "plans" too so that qualification by itself is insufficient.
The fact that hewasmay have been DRIVEN INSANE by all the Fox news propaganda he was "brainwashed" with rather than a medically recognized condition is beside the point.
You are step 4.Everybody knows that anytime anything bad happens to a Progressive or Democrat it was caused by Fox News Propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would encourage you to read the affidavit and ask yourself if the statements of Depape sound like things you would hear on right wing media. (spoiler alert: they match to a T)Everybody knows that anytime anything bad happens to a Progressive or Democrat it was caused by Fox News Propaganda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. If you look at the charging document once Paul called the cops he was aware that the police would not let him get away with this. I'm confident he would have come to the same conclusion had he successfully captured/attacked Nancy. He would have gotten her, realized he couldn't escape, and then there's a high probability he kills her.
Some of the group had suggested cannibalizing her, apparently it was (one of) the last straw before the plan went too far for one of them, and he contacted the authorities to report the group.
And the left is being blamed for all the divisiveness 🥸
